I've got a lock-up converter I'll sell you. About 3000-3200 stall. It was reworked by CircleD (Houston, TX), and only had maybe 10 miles on it. I drove the car from the transmission shop to my dyno, and the tranny shop screwed up something causing 3rd gear to not engage under WOT on the dyno. Long-story made short, I pulled the 455 Olds and sold it, and the converter is in a box in my garage, and I'm now putting a 6.0LQ4/4L60 in the car.
